Republican candidates arent even listed on the ballot for senate in the general election. Only the top two democrats. You cant even write-in a name. Republicans have been totally disenfranchised as far as the senate race is concerned. Dont know how it passes constitutional muster.
It passes Constitutional muster because you don't have your facts right. California doesn't have party-based primaries. It has an open primary, where the top two vote getters--no matter which party they are from--make it on the general election ballot. In some races that means two Democrats end up facing each other in the general election, and in other cases two Republicans.
According to the poll cited, Feinstein is polling at 39% and Little at 18%. The next closest are another Republican and another Democrat, tied with 8%. So Feinstein is pretty much a shoe-in to be on the general election ballot, and unless one of those currently at 8% overtakes Little, he will also be on the ballot.
I know you live there and it may seem like only Democrats are on general election ballots, but in some Congressional races the Dems are actually afraid that they have too many candidates, and they will split the primary vote so much that two Republicans and no Democrats end up on the general election ballot.

And the result is Republican voters are disenfranchised in the general election by the shamelessly hypocritical democrats.
